I love Olive Garden soups, but I hate trying to eat at a sit down restaraunt with a two year old! :D I adapted a recipe to imitate OG's minestrone soup that is really popular with my family. I think I will surprise them with your recipe next week. Thanks for sharing it.

made this today for lunch (and leftovers for tomorrow) and it was DELISH!!! I actually preferred mine to Olive Garden's as I didn't cut my potatoes and onions as small as they do. LOL I used KALE instead of spinach as that is what I had on hand. The whole household enjoyed it!

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
